Selected Recipes by Category
Narrowing the recipes down was the hardest part of this project, and we included as many as we could. We received more than 360 amazing family recipes and heartfelt stories, with a goal of including 200 in the book. It was not easy. We worked with a team of food writers and enthusiasts to help make the selections, and we’ve posted the recipe names, contributors, and their hometowns here.
